Ohio lawmakers last month voted to make significant cuts to the state’s water quality program, designed to prevent farm runoff, protect water supplies, and other water quality solutions.
The Ohio House version of the budget contains a proposed $120 million cut to H2Ohio, which was put into place after toxins left Toledo temporarily without safe drinking water in 2014.
Ohio’s budget is currently still under deliberation, with lawmakers set to resume talks next week after returning from spring break. 3/23/2025
